Operations Abnormalities & Plant Upset
Recognise the early indicators that separate a normal process excursion from a developing plant upset. Participants apply a structured method for diagnosing abnormal conditions across reactors, columns, exchangers and utilities, and learn to prioritise operator action under pressure.
- Recognise the early indicators that separate a normal process excursion from a developing plant upset.
- Apply a structured method to diagnose abnormal conditions in reactors, columns, exchangers and utilities.
- Prioritise operator actions during an upset to protect people, equipment and product quality.
- Use alarm management, trend data and process interlocks effectively under abnormal conditions.
- Conduct post-upset reviews that turn incidents into permanent operating improvements.

Hydrotreating & Hydrocracker Process
Understand the reaction chemistry, catalyst systems and process variables behind hydrotreating and hydrocracking. Participants identify the main equipment and learn to control feed quality, hydrogen partial pressure, space velocity and reactor temperature to hold product specifications.
H2 Production by Steam Reforming Technology
Follow the steam methane reforming route from feed pre-treatment through to purified hydrogen product. Participants learn reformer furnace, shift converter and PSA operation, how to control steam-to-carbon ratio and outlet temperature, and how to prevent carbon laydown and tube overheating.
Process Reactors: Operation, Troubleshooting, Start-Up & Shutdown
Compare fixed bed, moving bed and fluidised reactors and the duties each suits. Participants operate reactors within their temperature, pressure and space velocity envelope, and diagnose channelling, hot spots, maldistribution and catalyst loss from field and DCS data.
